A/N: I started this out doubting that I was actually going to post it. But later on I may. This story may sound like all the others out there with a new girl, but I promise (I hope I can promise) you it isn't. Then again, I haven't actually read all of the stories with a new girl in it. So, this is about a new girl (Abbie) who comes to Hogwarts and is in Harry's year (which will be his sixth year). There's something a little, shall we say, off about her that nobody can really think of. Don't get the idea that she's working for Voldie either since I doubt that'll be how it turns out simply because I want this to be different.

Disclaimer: I own the plot and Abbie. No money is being made from this. Though that would be nice if there were.

Harry sat on the Hogwart's Express with Ron and Hermione. Hermione was sitting awfully close to him and it was making him rather nervous. He wasn't sure if he wanted to put his arm around her or slink over to sit with Ron across from them. Harry decided to be bold and the next thing he knew his arm was snaked around Hermione's waist. Hermione turned to him and smiled the most beautiful smile in the world. In that smile, Harry knew that everything was okay and that his friendship with Hermione had just moved to a higher level. Ron didn't even notice that a new relationship had just been formed right in front of his eyes until Harry and Hermione both leaned in for a kiss.

"Whoa! Did I miss something here? When did this happen?" Ron's mouth was hanging open as far as was humanly possible. Harry and Hermione broke apart.

"Ron, close your mouth before you catch flies," giggled Hermione.

"Are you two now a couple?" Ron asked thickly.

Harry and Hermione exchanged a glance. "Yes."

"Great! It's about time! Now, Harry, as I was saying before-"

At that very moment a girl around their age knocked on their compartment door. Once again, Ron's mouth dropped open. Harry could easily see why. This girl was gorgeous! She had straight silvery blonde hair that seemed to shimmer whenever she moved and it hung down to her waist. She had very vivid blue eyes. Harry realized he was staring and got up to open the door for her. She shot him a grateful look, walked in and sat down her luggage.

"Thank you so much. I was beginning to think that my arms would fall off!" The girl had an odd sort of accent that Harry had heard before but couldn't remember where it was from. She sat down next to Ron and stared out the window.

Hermione leaned over and whispered in Harry's ear. "Wonder who she is? Didn't even introduce herself." Hermione seemed offended by this. Some minutes passed in complete silence. Harry was growing uncomfortable by the minute in the presence of this mystery girl. As for Ron, he just sat there staring at her, forgetting his manners and probably how to talk. Suddenly the girl turned toward them, surprised.

"Oh I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Abbie Karns." Abbie reached out her hand towards Hermione.

"I'm Hermione Granger and this is Harry Potter. Over there is Ron Weasley. Pease forgive him. He's being so primitive at the moment."

Abbie laughed, tossing her hair behind her shoulder and accidentally hit Ron in the face with it. This caused him to turn red and his mouth to form a very goofy grin. "Don't worry. I get it all the time." Abbie leaned over to shake Harry's hand. Her hand was icy cold and her grip was strong. Harry looked into her eyes and for a minute he felt a flicker of fear that passed as quickly as it had come. Finally Abbie released Harry's hand. Hermione sat there glaring. Meanwhile, Harry thought that it was odd that Abbie's eyes didn't even perform the familiar flick to his scar much less acknowledge that she was in his presence. Not that he minded; he thought it rather nice for a change.

"I-I-I'm Ron," Ron said suddenly.

"He speaks!" Abbie said laughing and turned to shake his hand. This caused Ron's expression to change so that he looked as though he had just entered Heaven.

"Well, what do we have here? Are you lost, beautiful lady? If so, I can help you find your way home. You don't want rubbish like this lot to help you. I, on the other hand, am very capable of helping you." Draco walked inside the compartment followed closely by Crabbe and Goyle. Harry glared at Draco then turned his attention to Ron. This caused him to laugh. Ron was so entranced by this Abbie person he hadn't even noticed Malfoy's arrival. Harry was beginning to think she was a veela. She must be if Ron was completely ignoring Malfoy. Suddenly Ron snapped out of his trance and looked over at Draco.

"Oh, are you here?" He said in an offhand way.

"Yes and I've come to rescue this poor woman from you."

In the mean time, Hermione was looking at Draco carefully. He had become gorgeous over the summer! He no longer put gel in his hair and let it hang loosely. He also looked as though he had been working out and grew a good few inches. Not that she liked him. She liked Harry. Abbie stood up and walked over to Draco.

"The name is Abbie. What's yours?" Abbie smiled enchantingly at him, her straight bright white teeth gleaming, and flipped her hair back. Malfoy kept his cool.

"The name's Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. May I escort you to my compartment?" He too smiled a dazzling smile at her and ran a hand through his hair before offering it to Abbie. Harry thought he must have been practicing over the summer and wondered if Abbie could see how fake Malfoy was.

Abbie took his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. "Of coarse! See you later boys, Hermione," she giggled. They then left. 'Okay, apparently she didn't see through Draco.' Harry thought to himself.

"What a flake!" Hermione snorted. "To think I thought she might have sense despite her looks." Ron now looked as though he had been sent to hell instead of Heaven. "I'm going for a walk so you guys can change into your Hogwart's robes." Hermione left, shutting the compartment door behind her.

"She-she was beautiful!" Ron gasped.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious!" Harry laughed.

Hermione was walking down the hall on her way to find the witch with the trolley as she hadn't been by yet and it was past the usual time. As she was walking, she passed by the compartment with Draco and Abbie in it. Out of curiosity, Hermione peered in only to see Draco and Abbie snogging. Disgusted, Hermione turned back figuring that Harry and Ron would be done changing by now and that she wasn't so hungry after all.

After the Sorting had finished, Dumbledore stood up. "This year we have a new student that will be in sixth year. She has transferred from the Australian Academy of Magic Arts and we must see what house she will be in. Please welcome Abbie Karns!" Abbie walked up to the stool and sat down amidst applause. Hermione looked around to find mainly all the boys gaping at her. 'What is it with her that I cannot place?' Hermione wondered.

Abbie sat up on the stool for at least fifteen minutes before the Hat said something that it had never said before in all its long years. "Alas! I cannot decide whether to put this young lady in either Gryffindor or Slytherin!" Everybody fell silent as a grim faced Dumbledore stood up, picked up the hat and ushered Abbie into the room behind the teacher's table.

A/N: I really hope everyone likes this and please please please review! Sorry that it's so short but my mom's bugging me to get off as it's late.
